Xiao Yao smiled sadly at Yun Yichen, and tears rolled down her eyes. This was the first time she cried in front of Yun Yichen. She wanted to control her emotions, but she couldn't control the fatigue and grievance in her heart.
Yun Yichen clenched his fists tightly and didn't dare to take a step forward. He wanted to hug the little figure in front of him so much, but he was afraid that she would be sad and frightened.
"Don't cry." Yun Yichen had thousands of words in his heart, but when they came to his lips, they turned into two dry words.
"Please, take me to see Ruyi." Xiao Yao took the initiative to greet Yun Yichen and stretched out her hands to pull his sleeves.
Everyone present could see that if Yun Yichen rejected her, she would definitely not be able to hold on and would fall down even if she didn't faint.
Kou Jiang and his men were glued to Xiao Yao. Following Luo Yan, they had seen countless women, but they had never seen a woman whose beauty surpassed the one before them. Her pure, indifferent temperament, like a lotus, easily made men want to protect her.
"As long as you stop crying, I'll take you there." Yun Yichen knew Xiao Yao too well. Now that she knew about this, it was impossible for him to stop her. If he didn't want her to hate him, he had no choice but to agree.
Xiao Yao quickly wiped away her tears with both hands, then looked at Yun Yichen somewhat embarrassedly. No matter what the reason was, it was wrong for her to eavesdrop on them. She hoped that he would not lecture her in public. At worst, she would just not deliberately avoid him next time they met.
Zhao Hai and Xiao Anzi returned to the villa to find a carriage. Zhao Hai decided to drive the carriage himself. This woman was the Crown Prince's consort! He had to serve her with great care. Didn't he see that the Crown Prince was so distressed that he almost cried with him?
Xiao Yao sat quietly in the carriage. She knew that her sudden appearance must have disrupted Yun Yichen's arrangements. She was already very grateful that he could help the Xiao family, and she couldn't give him any more problems or make any more demands.
"Here he comes, here he comes." The people around Kong Xuzhe shouted happily. Once Yun Yichen arrived, it would be a two-on-one situation, and they would no longer have to worry about Beijin's support for the king.
"Kong Xuzhe, you bastard, I told you not to look for my sister. If anything happens today, I'll see if our family can forgive you." Xiao Yuan had been sitting in the car for a long time. After hearing the news, he could no longer sit still. The more he accused, the angrier he became. He pulled off the purse from his waist and threw it over.
Luo Yan glanced at the two of them and then looked away. His main purpose today was to see Xiao Yao, so he decided to let the couple next to him stay together for a while.
Yun Yichen stopped a hundred meters away from Luo Yan and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Yuan standing on the shaft of the carriage, hands on hips, scolding Kong Xuzhe. If anything happened to her, how could he face the Xiao family, the little girl, the Yuan family, and his mother? So, his cousin was a very important person, and she couldn't afford any mistakes.
"Cousin, if you miss Ruonan, just send someone to notify her. Why would you bother His Highness the Prince Qin to escort you?" Yun Yichen defined a kidnapping as an escort in one sentence.
"Since Prince Yun is so smart, he must know what I want. Until my wish is fulfilled, nothing you say will be of any use."
"Luo Yan, don't be so arrogant. Just send my cousin here safely and I can pretend nothing happened."
"So what if it happened? The prince thought I would be afraid. The bigger the incident, the better. Maybe I can soon become the son-in-law of the Xiao family!"
"Don't even think about it! Do you think the Lingnan Palace is easy to bully? I'll show you how powerful I am soon." Kong Xuzhe was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he directed it all at Luo Yan. Xiao Yao was already engaged to Yun Yichen. If Luo Yan really proposed marriage, wouldn't his wishful thinking be ruined? At this moment, he regretted why he didn't follow Yun Yichen's footsteps and run to the Xiao family to propose marriage. If he did, Luo Yan's plan would not be able to be implemented.
After listening for a long time, no one wanted to give in and the situation remained deadlocked. Xiao Yao glanced at the situation and saw that it was already past noon. If things continued like this, there would be no result until dark.
"Please ask the prince to come over. I have something to say to him." Xiao Yao whispered to Xiao Anzi beside the window on the other side where Luo Yan couldn't see.
Yun Yichen has always been helping her. Xiao Yao feels that even if she has any ideas, she should discuss them with him before making a decision, otherwise it would be too disrespectful to him.
Yun Yichen was a little surprised to hear that Xiao Yao was looking for him. This was truly the first time in history. He no longer cared about confronting Luo Yan and walked to Xiao Yao's carriage. With a smile in his eyes and a curled mouth, he asked softly, "You looked for me?"
"This isn't a solution!"
"Do you want him to see you?" Yun Yichen's expression suddenly changed from that of spring to that of winter. People close to him could even feel the slight chill penetrating their bodies through their clothes.
"No, I want to discuss with you whether we can let Ruyi go to the royal villa to find Ruonan first, and then invite... Prince Qin to my villa. I will make some side dishes, and you and Prince Kong will accompany him for a drink. Can we forget about this matter?" Xiao Yao thought it was feasible to let Luo Yan look at her and solve all the problems.
But in front of the furious Yun Yichen, she didn't have the courage to say it out loud. She didn't know where his anger came from. It wasn't like she wanted him to sacrifice himself and look unhappy. Was it really necessary?
Yun Yichen instinctively wanted to refuse. He could eat the food cooked by the little girl himself, and Kong Xuzhe, considering that they might be family in the future, could eat it once in a while. Why did Luo Yan, knowing that he had bad intentions, still invite him to dinner? He should be so happy.
If both sides don't take a step back, the matter will remain deadlocked. Not to mention today, even tomorrow there may not be a conclusion to the debate.
When Yun Yichen wanted to argue a few more times, he found that Xiao Yao had already lowered the curtain. Anyway, he had already made up his mind, so it was his business to decide.
"Prince Qin, it's getting late. Why don't we all go to the villa? I'll have someone prepare some food so we can talk while we eat." Yun Yichen changed his mind about Xiao Yao again and again. He was unwilling to let his fiancée cook for someone with bad intentions.
Luo Yan vaguely overheard some of Yun Yichen and Xiao Yao's conversation, but it was too fragmentary to piece together a complete sentence. An expert with excellent hearing and memory beside Luo Yan had just whispered the general content of Yun Yichen and Xiao Yao's conversation into his ear.
I haven't decided whether to agree to Xiao Yao's proposal yet! Yun Yichen actually tampered with the location and key figures without permission. He has no sincerity in the negotiation at all. How could I possibly agree to it?
"That's not what Miss Xiao said just now! I want to go to the Xiao family's villa and eat the food Miss Xiao made herself. If you can fulfill this wish, Xiao Ruyi can go with you."
"You are not allowed to call her Xiao Ruyi." Kong Xuzhe had been looking in the direction of Kyoto. When the familiar Lingnan Palace servants appeared in his sight, he was about to be happy when he heard Luo Yan mention the three words Xiao Ruyi again, so he shouted loudly.
"What does Xiao Ruyi have to do with you? Not only can I call her Xiao Ruyi, I can also call her Xiao Ping'an. After all, our two families are relatives!" Luo Yan was so angry that he called "Xiao Ruyi" and "Xiao Ping'an" sweetly in front of Yun Yichen and Kong Xuzhe, and then laughed.
If he still couldn't figure out Yun Yichen and Kong Xuzhe's intentions by now, then all his years in the entertainment industry would have been in vain. No wonder the Xiao family was so confident in playing against him. I just didn't know what the Jing Palace and Lingnan Palace meant. Interesting, things were getting more and more interesting!
"Surround this car and shoot anyone who moves except Miss Xiao in the car." Kong Xuzhe gritted his teeth. If someone asked him who he hated the most right now, it would definitely be Luo Yan.
"Tsk!" Luo Yan looked at the guards from the Lingnan Palace who came in a crowd with an arrogant look on his face and sneered with disdain. Although Kong Xuzhe was also from the palace, he was not a bit inferior to Yun Yichen in terms of intelligence and ability.
"The Xiao family's farm is small and can't accommodate so many people. Let's go to the Royal Villa!" He could only make another concession. He couldn't let them fight here! As long as Luo Yan didn't mention looking at Xiao Yao's appearance, it would be best to let this matter go lightly. This would be good for everyone.
"Is Xiao Ping'an cooking for me?" Kou Jiang had already reported to him. Xiao Yao was truly beautiful, more beautiful than any woman they had ever seen. Although Luo Yan desperately wanted to see Xiao Yao, he also knew that some things couldn't be rushed. He couldn't fall out with the Xiao family or the two royal palaces just yet. As soon as the people he needed arrived, the two girls would be his, no one could stop him.
"That's enough, King Qin." I could still hold my breath and tell myself to forget it after he shouted at me once, but I didn't expect him to dare to do it again. Did he want me and Kong Xuzhe to take action together?
"If His Royal Highness the King of Qin lets my sister come over now, Xiao Yao will definitely cook for her personally." In order to end the argument as soon as possible, Xiao Yao could only bypass Yun Yichen and agree to Luo Yan. Although this place is not on the main road, who can guarantee that no one will see us? She was really afraid that it would cause trouble for the family.
"Okay." I finally heard the beauty's voice. Although I felt a little disappointed that I couldn't see her, it was a pleasant surprise to be able to eat the food she made herself. Originally, I just wanted to test it out today. It would take some time before I could win her back. I was willing to wait, and I had to be patient.
"Let's go to the Royal Villa." Yun Yichen snorted coldly and turned his horse's head. The little girl was still so disobedient. How could she cook for such a person? Why didn't she trust him completely and let him handle everything?
Prince Qin didn't want to waste any more energy on such a trivial matter. He didn't think Yun Yichen would dare to take action after they arrived at the Royal Villa. So he gestured to Kou Jiang, and the Northern Jin guards around Xiao Yuan's carriage withdrew.
"Ruyi, come here." Xiao Yao shouted anxiously. Luo Yan was obviously not a gentleman, otherwise he would not have broken his promise and done something treacherous. How could Xiao Yao feel at ease letting her sister ride in the car alone?
"Sister, I'm fine, don't worry." Xiao Yuan jumped off his carriage swiftly and ran to Xiao Yao's carriage which was surrounded by the guards of Prince Jing's Mansion. Yun Yichen came over personally, pressed the curtain, and opened a gap that was only wide enough for one person to pass through, allowing Xiao Yuan to get in.
